Pleased With Rattle, Tickled With q
Straw
From, the CHICAGO Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
One of the favorites of London this season In
an amusement way is man with the very at
tractive nameof Corney Grain. He is an enormous
man-tall, with a tremendously powerful body
His shoulders are broad and exceedingly thick
and as he stoops badly, it makes them look still
more gross and awkward. He is a mouse-c col
ored blonde with sallow complexion, dull
sleepy blue eyes, large mouth, and thick pug
nose His forehead is low and retreating, but
he partly hides it by loose wave of hair This
man is considered the great wit in London at
present, and his appearance is the signal for
laugh before he opens his mouth / think it
would be easier for Americans to laugh at him
before he had opened his mouth than after He
is simply diluted music-hall snger-a music
hall singer with all the fun and dash left out.
He seats himself at the piano and the audience
laugh. i heard him at q concert the other day
at which all the music was good and classical.
This man closed the entertainment with one of
his songs. The audience consisted of some
of the best people in London-people who are
among the representative cultured society of
the city. Yet there was no part of the pro-
gramme which received such applause and at
tention as the shrieking of this course eephan-
tine humorist. He sang vulgar song, without
wit or originality, of Scotchmans coming to
London and seeing the sights and describing
them afterward TO a friend at home The great
point of the song was that all of the women
that he saw wore very low-necked dresses, and
if his wife did the same he would beat her and
send her to bed. The audience fairly shouted
with appreciation of this delicate satire, the
women enjoying 1t as much the men. A
friend told me that this Mr.. Corney Grain was
invited to Marlborough House to sing to the
Prince and Princess of Wales last Sunday even

THREE LADIES IN A BOX.
The Grisly Sight Seen in the Ruins of

Mrs. Cratcford's Paris Letter in London Truth.
Look up there, - said the Colonel did as
he told me, and beheld in a box that held on as
if by miracle to the wall, three ladies with
blackened visages. One was in black velvet.
Another had jet cuirass. The third was in
pink and white, and had flowers in mass Of
friZzed fair hair. Her mouth was opened, as II
gasping for breath; the lips were greatly curled
back. and two rows of white, even teeth were
laid bare. The Others leaned back in their
chairs quite quietly, and one of them held fan
on the ledge of the box, They formed the most
awful sight | think ever gazed upon. The
probability is that, despairing of escaping in
the fearful torrent of human beings which tore
in the dark along corridors and stairs, they re-
turned TO their seats and quietly waited to be
burned or suffocated. Death came upon them

NV Love Goeth Forth.

Soft is the sky, and the joy of birds
Breaks from the copse on the budding brae,
And the air hath the dream of the peaceful
herds
That Craze in the fields to-day.
And the brook hath turn in its wavering strain
That steals to my heart like a passionate
thought:
The phantoms of evil assail me in vain.
And / set the worlds wisdom at naught.
For my love goeth forth, and her robes are
white,
White like the clouds at the break of dawn,
Fair, fair, and madness doth burn in my sight
Lest the vision shall be withdrawn.
My love goeth forth and the lingering air
Lifteth up the soft tresses that shadow her
'Tis an angel, I say hath been drawn by my
prayer
To come down from that land in the skies.
What envious hand doth lay
The keen blade to the grasses?
What blight hath turned to gray
The Towering woodland passes?
Dull is the sky; the mingling joy of birds
Sounds from the dell but music's balm hath
fed.
heard the lowing of returning herds,
But hope and love are dead.
The brooks soft wave doth murmur at my feet,
Like some lost voice that calleth from afar;
The withered leaves sail like mournful fleet
Which cometh back from war.
For my love goeth forth, and her robe is white,
White like the snow in the cleft of the hill;
My love goeth forth with the king in his might,
And her hands are crossed and still;
My love goeth forth, and my wild despair
Cannot lift the soft lashes which shadow her
eyes:
'Tis an angel, l say, that in spite of my care
Goeth back to that land in the skies.
